May I kindly suggest that a 15~ day delay be put onto this year's update?
The geopolitical landscape is shifting rapidly, and there are signs you
might have to do another flag update this year (besides Afghanistan).
Belarus may be undergoing a slow motion revolution.
Background in a series of tweets:

Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya (@Tsihanouskaya)
Lukashenka committed treason – he made our country a participant in the invasion of Ukraine. So I declared myself as the national leader of Belarus to protect the sovereignty & independence of our country, represent it in security negotiations & crisis management in the region.
Basically, Tsikhanouskaya is the only person who challenged Luka in the 2020 elections and she was forced into exile in Eastern Europe (Poland/Balt States) as a result.

Belsat (quoting multiple sources): Belarusian troops expect to be deployed to fight in Ukraine in a few days.

Lukashenko confirms missile strikes have been launched from Belarus against Ukraine because "Kyiv deployed 3-4 missile divisions near our border".
==============
What's happening today is a vote on the 2022 Belarusian Constitutional Referendum (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_B...nal_referendum)
that
Basically gives Lukashenko Immunity for acts he commits/committed as president of Belarus
Changes Article 18 of the Belarusian constitution that says "the Republic of Belarus aims at making its territory a nuclear-free zone", enabling Russia to deploy its nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory.

Given the level of repression, the only possible for Belarusians to gather in protest against the invasion was to turn out to vote in the referendum at the same time all across the country – today at 2PM local time. It seems to have worked! Videos coming from all over the country

Lukashenka's flag was removed from the #Belarusian embassy in #Vilnius and replaced with the national white-pass-white flag and the #Ukrainian flag. It is reported that the national flag was also noticed at the Belarusian embassy in #Paris.
=====================
We may be seeing a slow motion coup/revolution inside Belarus, provoked by Lukashenko's actions.
Right now, I think it all depends on what Luka does in the next 24 hours.
The previous SRBM and airstrikes he had the Belarussian Air Force launch against Ukraine can be walked back, with some difficulty, but committing ground forces to Ukraine kind of can't.
